About this community
Sorrento is a 112-bed nursing home in San Antonio (Bexar County) accepting Medicare and Medicaid, managed by Sorrento Continuing Care Center Ltd Co under a hospital district license.

Written from CMS Care Compare and state licensing records · last updated April 19, 2026
What the data says
CMS rates staffing here at 1 star — the bottom tier, shared by about 38% of Texas nursing homes. Each resident receives roughly 193 minutes of nursing care per day, about 48 minutes less than at a 4-star-staffing facility in Texas. Residents here also need more hands-on care than at a typical facility — they are sicker or less mobile on average — so those 193 minutes stretch thinner in practice than the raw number suggests.
Despite the staffing rating, CMS rates the facility 5 stars on quality measures, both for long-stay and short-stay residents. That is the highest possible score. A 5-star quality rating alongside a 1-star staffing rating is an uncommon combination in the data.
One administrator has turned over in the past year — an elevated level relative to typical Texas nursing homes.

Questions to ask when you tour
Staffing levels on nights and weekends
Weekend nursing hours here average 2.73 minutes per resident less than weekday figures — ask how many nurses and aides are scheduled on a typical Saturday night.
How quality scores are maintained
CMS rates outcomes 5 stars despite 1-star staffing; ask specifically which care protocols and oversight systems produce those results with current staffing levels.
RN presence during the day
Reported RN hours average about 26 minutes per resident per day — ask how many hours a registered nurse is physically on the floor each shift.
Recent administrator change
An administrator left within the past year; ask who is currently leading the facility, how long they have been in place, and whether further leadership changes are expected.
Waitlist and bed availability
The facility is running at roughly 93% of its 112 licensed beds; ask whether a waitlist exists and what the typical wait time is for a Medicaid or Medicare admission.
Resident Council access and meeting schedule
A Resident Council meets here but no Family Council exists; ask how families receive updates from Resident Council meetings and how they can raise concerns formally.
